I ordered the Bayou Beast delivered from Two Boots Pizza at their UES location. Ordering by phone…read morewas easy and a welcome change from the online norm today. It arrived in short order, within about forty five to fifty minutes. Unfortunately, the reviews and videos I had seen heightened my expectations beyond what could be delivered. The box was bent a bit more than it should, indicating the trip was a bit rough. That can happen on the streets of NYC and is not, alone, dispositive as to how one reviews a pizza or any food delivered. There was no tape to seal the box and ALL pizza deliveries should have tape applied to ensure nothing happens to your pizza enroute. I accepted delivery, despite these shortcomings, given I was starved and had an online meeting about to occur. This is a thin crust pizza and the crust has a more grainy and chewy texture than a New York style crust. There is no leopard spotting on the base of the crust, but it is still above average crust. There are not sufficient toppings for this pizza. Thin crust has become synonymous for scarce toppings and at $45, plus delivery, leaves one wondering what does one receive in perceived value. See the picture attached and one slice has nothing on it, only the cheese and sauce: no sausage, no shrimp. Yes, the pizza makes an impression upon the palate with its spiciness from the Andouille sausage and shrimp scattered about where one can find them, but it's more of an impression rather than a tangible taste. Here and there a piece of sausage or a shrimp happens upon the palate, but does not leave satisfaction. This is a good idea for a pizza and one I had been anticipating to be better, but we are in inflationary times and one remembers the places that deliver satisfaction and value for your hard earned dollar. This pizza did not deliver the same this time. If all the slices had toppings and they were in greater abundance than a few sprinkled here and there, this pizza would have far more impact and satisfaction. Instead it gives only the impression you experienced something unique to New Orleans and Louisiana in NY pizza format. 3.5 stars

It truly is difficult to find bad pizza in New York City. Little Italy is one of those unassuming…read moreplaces you'll pass by without a second thought. I've walked by this shop on more than one occasion, and it wasn't until yesterday that I finally tried it. What really made me stop and come in was the plate of garlic knots displayed on their window. These rolls of bread were placed in a heap with thick chunks of garlic and parsley clustered at the top. It looked too appetizing to ignore. The garlic knots were as delicious as they looked. The bread was dense and doughy, pulling apart in a gooey way. It was greasy, well-soaked with olive oil. There was garlic - tons of it - in every fold. It was strong, pungent, and flavorful. The marinara sauce was sweet and fresh. I also tried a plain slice of pizza. That, too, was delicious, with generous layers of tomato sauce and thick, gooey cheese. The bottom of the slice was coated with what I could only describe as crispy bits like panko, adding an almost croque madame crunch to every bite. I so enjoyed that novelty. It took me several passes to try Little Italy, and I'm so glad I did. If you're tempted to give this place a try, come on a sunny, warm day, take your slice to go, and enjoy it at the adjacent St. Catherine's park.

To say this was the best pizza I've had is an understatement. The garlic bread was as flaky as a croissant AND filled with cheese. No photo, since I devoured it before I realized it was gone. The slice had a decent ricotta to mozzarella ratio (and was just as good). Will definitely be returning!!

Another pizzeria recommended for me to try, because when a New York transplant knows you like…read morepizza, you try the pizza. I will try them all until I try them all. Unlike my last pizza stop, this one actually deserves some positive recognition. The owner made things pleasant for me, and the fact the phone would not stop ringing for pickup orders while I was there is enough to clinch something positive. Now, about these slices. Plain slice: The slice looks sharp, and the sauce is a pretty color, a nice hue of pink and red. It is a light slice, the crust is a bit more on the chewy side than crusty, but it definitely holds its integrity. It is not a super salty slice, but I can understand people wanting to order plain slices here. Solid, without trying too hard. For a neighborhood slice, it knows what it is. White slice: Okay. Nobody is going to top Sal & Carmine's, New Park Pizza, or Best Pizza for that fantastic White slice. I will have to concede the point. But can this slice please have more flavor? Except for a small garlic note at the end, I really was not tasting much except for milk and bread. It also did not quite hold its integrity as the fold almost undid it all. At least it did not end up a big mess. Ziti slice: For my specialty slice, I went with a ziti slice, a slice with ziti pasta, and an overall texture that made me feel like I was eating baked ziti on a pizza. At first I was underwhelmed, but as I took more bites I was taken aback by how nicely everything is portioned. The pasta is cooked evenly, the ziti cheese and sauce are not overdone, and the crust acts like a little side breadstick to the pie. Distinctive, creative, and pleasant to the tongue. -- This is what a neighborhood pizza joint should be about. It is not going to be mentioned in any New York pizza top 10 list, but it is certainly not a pizza top trash. The good customer service only made things better because the owner was kind enough to give me plenty of napkins as I was making a mess of myself, and also brought the pizza to my table without any qualms. Like I said earlier, the pizza here will not be winning any awards, but at least it is solid enough to eat after a long days work. That, is good enough. Overall pizza rating: 3.4/5

Good amount of cheese to sauce ratio and crust was crispy with some chew. Plenty of seating inside. If a decent and affordable lunch is what you're after then this place will certainly fit the bill. Staff was fast and friendly. Not a destination pizza joint, but more than adequate if you're in the neighborhood, especially considering many other places close by are a little too pricey (for my budget at least), for just a quick bite.
